Description
Product overview
Regular lubrication is an important part of maintaining a cross-cut or micro-cut paper shredder. Fellowes Powershred® Shredder Oil 3608601 is formulated for Fellowes shredders and supplied in a long-nozzle squeeze bottle for controlled application across the cutter opening.
Fellowes recommends lubricating the shredder whenever the waste bin is emptied, or at least twice per month during normal use. Proper lubrication helps keep the cutting mechanism moving smoothly and supports consistent shredding performance.
This is a non-aerosol shredder lubricant. Fellowes specifically warns against using aerosol lubricants such as WD-40 because petroleum-based aerosols can create a fire hazard inside a shredder.
